Diagnosing WIFIWe've just signed up here for broadband, and got our free WIFI router.It seems to me that the connection performance is getting progressively worse and worse. Without having a spare computer or router, any ideas how to diagnose which end the problem is at? |

First thing is to exclude the wireless part, and plug the computer directly into the router using one of the ports which should be on the back.
other things to try, would be http via a web browser to the router management console and have a look at the connection speed which should be listed there somewhere Also, you could try moving the wireless router away from metal shelves, microwaves and cordless telephones, these all affect the signal Switching the router on/off also helps once a week or so You can also run a speedtest via this website http://www.speedtest.net/ Is it worse at certain times of the day? |
